Ban the teaching of inappropriate sexual content in schools to children
Rejected
17 signatures
What the petition asks
US President elect Donald J Trump has initiated the banning of teaching of inappropriate sexual content in schools. Whilst sex education is vitally important it must be done at an appropriate age, with full parental knowledge, consent and consultation on the content. We should do the same.
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
Government guidance indicates schools should consult parents. You can find more information here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/62cea352e90e071e789ea9bf/Relationships_Education_RSE_and_Health_Education.pdf
